Free School Meals

Checking your child’s eligibility for free school meals is a win-win that provides immediate financial relief for your family while also providing some additional funding for the school which can be used to provide additional resources for students.

It is from this funding that allows us to employ our own counsellor, run extra curricular trips, provide additional staffing as well as providing additional financial support for families for trips and uniforms.

For you, a successful application can save nearly £500 per child each year on lunch costs and often grants your family access to additional benefits like free holiday activity programmes. Beyond the finances, children who eat a hot, nutritious school meal have been shown to have better concentration, improved classroom behaviour, and higher academic achievement.

The lunch system at Baysgarth means that there is no difference for children receiving free school meals and those paying as everyone ‘pays’ using their ID card, ensuring everyone has the same experience.

Even if you prefer to send your child with a packed lunch, simply registering ensures Baysgarth doesn't miss out on this essential funding to support your child's education.
